With family and work responsibilities I'm restricted to 3 runs a week, 2 about 5-6K and one longer one. Should I aim for 51 mins or would 50 be attainable?

4 weeks to go. I'd think about reducing your training slightly for weeks 2 and 3 and doing very little for week 4 before the race.
If the run today was on roads with the associated stop-starts for junctions you could knock 4-5 minutes off. If it was on pathways etc. maybe take 2-3 minutes to take the race buzz into account.
